Gusto Italian launches new-look restaurant & bar in Nottingham


Casual dining group, Gusto Italian has opened the doors to its new-look restaurant and bar in Nottingham city centre.

The venue is an evolution of the Gusto Italian brand with an immersive pizza experience, open kitchen, and coffee and cannoli bar.

The restaurant occupies the former Frankie & Benny’s restaurant on the corner of King Street and Upper Parliament Street and has created over 80 jobs in the city of Nottingham.

CEO Matt Snell commented, “We’re thrilled to bring Gusto Italian to the people of Nottingham once again. This is our first opening for over 4 years and we’ve worked incredibly hard behind the scenes to create an immersive experience which will redefine the landscape of casual Italian dining.”

The Gusto Pizza Experience is a new concept, exclusive to Nottingham, and offers a two-hour hands-on experience at the chef’s table for groups of up to 10 people.

Snell added, “This venue is something new and exciting, both for the Gusto Italian brand and for the Nottingham dining scene. We can’t wait to see what our guests are going to think.”

The venue is open every day from 10am serving coffee and cannoli with the à la carte menu available from noon. Gusto Italian also serves brunch and bottomless brunch from Friday to Sunday 10am – 2pm.??

Gusto Italian, which is backed by Palatine Private Equity, now has 13 restaurants across the UK.
